Maybe you're right, although if the browser is the only application that's going to be running it may not matter. To your point, yes it would be simpler to use extensions. I know I can run every thing  from a dual partition usb stick but is it possible to do the same thing using a single cd?

edit: I suppose it's possible to create a multi-session cd or dvd with one session being the tc iso image and another being the extension and personal settings storage area ( In my example this information can be permanent). I'm not sure how to set this up. I'm just guessing but I assume the last session would have to be the iso image. Then after the system boots up the first session could be mounted and the extensions automatically loaded or accessed. Does this sound right?

i think there are two points being made here. one is that for some very low tech people (none of which are necessarily members of the forum!) it might be nice to have a tc demo that has a browser and flash already in the iso. (naturally to have flash in the iso almost certainly violates some copyright, and it's not the sort of thing i would offer for download, but i do like beafanatix, which is an iso that includes flash 9 or compatible.)

but the other point is that there are a lot of things you don't need to open up and remix to get them working. you could make an iso that has the extensions included, or you could use multisession...

however, to get permanent this and that, i believe roberts has already created modes that allow you to do what you want, and without a need to remix anything but to include extensions. it's simply a matter (i believe) of putting things in the right place to be found on boot? not of reconfiguring tc.

and as for flash, i suppose you can include getflash without violating anything at all. people will still need to run sound on from the oss menu, and getflash from the menu.

There is no need for multisession. All drives don't support it well. The easiest way (on a Linux box of course :)) is to extract the iso, then create a directory called tce in the new cd structure, put extensions there, and then create the iso & burn.

The wiki page on remastering includes the right commands for extracting and creating the iso.

that or isomaster to do the same. it's (very) nice to know there are instructions for doing it without isomaster, but it's such a nice thing for people that really believe using a computer should be at least as intuitive as using isomaster. most people, not necessarily you or me all the time.
